Strange, GCC just finished compiling. No errors and I have the system running i686 native. I tuned with CFLAGS="-Os -march=i686 -pipe" -Adam
Most people will be happy. But the potential does exist, and so I have to go the safe route and recommend i586, lest somebody see my words on an e-mail archive somewhere and encounter real breakage and yell at me.
As always, your milage may vary, and if you get better mileage then the dealer says you do, I say go with it.. :)

You shouldn't use 686 - these are i586 instruction sets. But there are some native i686 instructions, and they do run the risk of tripping you up (as happened to OLPC last year when readhat put 686 native instructions into 'as', with the less then hilarious results).
don't know why gmail just sent that last message. Sorry
I wonder if this also broke grub. I have a grub from FC7 which won't work on qemu. Neat, eh? A bootloader that is cpu-specific.
